In good shape.
That's the reason that I got the Speedmaster FOIS (First Omega In Space).
Perfect re edition, including case and lug width.
Got a Shell Cordovan strap that is perfect to it.
Need to post some pics, along with a "Strap Addiction" post that I'm planning.
Cheers,
Nilo

What will be your first/next/last Omega?
By: nilomis : September 4th, 2014-05:02
Team, Post here what will be your first/next/last Omega. Two days back I put an order for the Seamaster 300 Master. First time that I do this (put an order) but I could not resist this watch. (Picture from Omega site). No date (Amanico's disease), ultra m...

Tropic seems to be an option and ...

It so happens that I have one on my strap inventory. Vintage, of course. But the Seamaster 300 Master lug width is 20mm and my Tropic is 19mm. About NATO, I'm not a particular fan of those but I also have some. Let's wait and see. Cheers, Nilo

Go to borrow the original vintage from a dear friend that has one and compare. Thanks, Nilo

I have been months after a nice CK2998-1 hope finally can be mine ( of course will post pics if happens )
Yes

Yes Amanico , but you know how we are......never happy and always looking for the next A disease no doubt :) Rgds
Was lucky to find this one a few years back.....
By: Darren : September 4th, 2014-07:07
I only have a few vintage timepieces currently, but this is one I think I'll always have. Next up for me may be my first modern Omega - the very SM 300 that was the subject of the original post. I think Omega nailed it with this one - just perfect. Darren...
That's not luck but ...

Some sort of a miracle. Never had a chance to get one like yours. Congratulations. Cheers, Nilo
How about black/grey sharkskin?
By: cazalea : September 4th, 2014-08:25
If you find the right color, it adds a touch of novelty and sportiness to the watch you don't get with other leather textures (like salmon!) Mike This might be my last Omega unless I get inspired - and the one you have chosen is VERY VERY NICE ...
Sharkskin is an option ...
By: nilomis : September 4th, 2014-08:49
I never had one sharkskin strap. About Omega, just as a cookie advert here, is impossible to not have another. Cheers, Nilo
+1 . . .

. . . and truly, what could be more fitting for a Seamaster than the master of the sea? ...
What was the poor shark ...
By: nilomis : September 5th, 2014-16:39
That produced this skin? Jaws? Now serious. Very cool and matches the SM perfectly. Cheers, Nilo

.....i have a speedy from about 7 years ago.....and 2 months ago I added my second Omega...2914-3. I am now looking for a 2913 lollipop generation but am not having a lot of luck....and am seriously contemplating the same model you have ordered. It was my...

Umm . . .
By: Dr No : September 4th, 2014-11:30
. . . could you ask an easier question next time? :-) Seriously, there are countless candidates for my collection. A few no-brainers: the 2014 DeVille Trésor . . . . . . the 2012 Olympics SM . . . . . . and its 2012 Speedmaster counterpart, the ref 2998 r...

Nice choice ...
By: nilomis : September 4th, 2014-12:06
But not for me. I'm not a gold person, don't know why. Cheers, Nilo
Believe me ...
By: nilomis : September 4th, 2014-13:37
That is much more easy here to acquire a nice first generation Flightmaster (910?) than the SM 120. Cheers, Nilo
I have the same Seamaster on order. But in the end I may decide...

...to change my mind one last time and get the Dark Side instead. I love both watches but have been having a hard time removing that black ceramic watch from my thoughts. Besides, there is no ceramic watch in my collection whereas the Seamaster 300 will b...
Hard decision ...
By: nilomis : September 5th, 2014-03:06
I saw the DSOM, amazing impressive. But The SM 300 Master ... Hard, very hard to decide. Each one has particularities that I love. Good luck. Cheers, Nilo

By: nilomis : September 5th, 2014-18:54
Not with the "master" movement, of course. My observations after a very short examination. Great construction, outstanding case/dial and a movement that is one of the top chronograph movements ever. My only gripe is that under certain light conditions it ...
